The baritone line is arguably the most interesting of all.

Baritones usually have a 'good ear' for music because it can be a difficult line to sing. The baritone note can either sit between the bass and the lead notes or go above the lead at times. A good baritone will be aware of the difference, as different vocal qualities are required to balance the part against the others.

The range: F/G below middle C up to C an octave above middle C (Similar to a choral Alto).

Generally, the baritone note fills the gap in the chord and adds interest and colour to the music being sung - barbershop just isn't barbershop without it!

Due to it's complexity it attracts those individuals who are up for a challenge &/or who are confident music readers. New songs are keenly learnt and a real baritone will hardly contain her excitement at hearing all four parts sung together for the first time.

Please come along to any rehearsal and find out what it's all about!
